A new poll conducted by the 'Maagar Mochot' institute for Channel 16 indicates a very close race at the top of the political spectrum, with the main blocs nearly tied. The 'Yesh!' party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, is currently leading with 23 mandates. It is closely followed by the Likud party, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, which garnered 21 mandates.
In third place is the 'Beitech' party with 14 mandates, followed by 'HaDemokratim' with 9, and Shas securing the fifth spot with 8 mandates. Several other parties, including Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism-Identity, United Torah Judaism, and Yisrael Beiteinu, each received 7 mandates. The Joint List also obtained 7 mandates, while Ra'am received 6.
The 'Amcha Israel' party successfully passed the electoral threshold, securing 4 mandates. However, a union of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha, referred to as 'HaMiluimnikim VeHaKalkalit,' failed to pass the threshold and will not enter parliament.
The bloc picture shows the coalition bloc, including 'Amcha Israel,' with 54 mandates, narrowly ahead of the opposition bloc's 53 mandates. Arab parties combined, comprising the Joint List and Ra'am, secured a total of 13 mandates.
